The SLIPNOT Minute | SLIPNOT vs. Other Metal Coated Products
Welcome to Episode 10 of The SLIPNOT Minute!
Welcome to Episode 10 of The SLIPNOT Minute, where we discuss how SLIPNOT products compare to other metal-coated flooring products in terms of safety and slip resistance.

Hello and welcome to The SLIPNOT Minute. My name is Steve and I’m a regional salesman with SLIPNOT.
We’re back with another metal safety flooring comparison video. This time we’re comparing other metal-coated products with SLIPNOT. In our previous comparison videos, we’ve strictly looked at how slip resistant other products are compared to SLIPNOT.
But with other metal-coated products, that can get a little tricky. There are multiple manufacturers with different equipment, manufacturing processes, and all those differences can add up to yield a very different end product with differing levels of slip resistance, durability, and longevity. By contrast, SLIPNOT’s process is tightly controlled to deliver consistent, repeatable performance that lasts for years to come.
With that in mind, we’re going to compare SLIPNOT to an alternative metal-coated product on some key factors. This alternative product has no published surface hardness and a bond strength of less than 4500 PSI for stainless steel compared to stainless steel SLIPNOT’s 55 to 60 surface hardness on the Rockwell C scale and a bond strength of 7500 PSI for the same substrate.
We can see why this matters when we look at how each product performs over time. The alternative product is able to achieve similar dynamic coefficient of friction results in a lab setting when new, but it soon starts to wear faster than the SLIPNOT. The alternative is built to be slip resistant when new, but it’s not built to last in the same way that SLIPNOT is.
Safety flooring isn’t something you should be taking a chance on. Selecting a product that provides slip resistance now and for years to come will save you money over time and provide peace of mind.
